Been wondering how well plastidip would work on 3D printed stuff. Also… I see pizza.
plasti-dip works really well, very thick out of the can, you can thin it with naptha, xylene, or toulene, (or there is a subsitute you can get at home depot which works really well.) This is the super thick version. I ended up peeling it off, which was kind of disturbing as its like the little minon’s skin 
but was pretty easy to do as it stuck more to itself than the print. As you can see clogs details and pools around legs and such. thinned down works much much better and you can control the layers better and cloging. I ultimately didn’t use this method as i like the look of the print itself better (the ones i’m giving away are of 70 microns, this one was 100 or 150 microns.) pizza box’s make great work areas 
I am guessing you are aware already, Plasti-dip sells it out of a spray can too. No thinning required.
If he was, I wasn’t… good to know. Thanks!
In high school, I worked at West Marine, and we used to have some kind of vinyl paint stuff for boat bumpers. I forget if it was spray or paint-on, but I had thought about looking that up at some point as an alternative to plasti-dip. Some kind of spray vinyl for that nice smooth plastic-y/rubber-y coating.
Yah I saw they had the spray variety, but wanted to try out the dip method initially, ended up thinning it down but still like the vibrance of the original 3d print material better, if I were to do it again i’d go with the spray for sure. (I’ve finshed them and will post the updated pics on my blog and like on the original thingiverse item and an updated pic here when i’m flying tomorrow.
